Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Data System

SOFeX 2002 Melville cruise
CTD-SIO profile data processing notes

10 February 2006: Prepared for OCB data system by and Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO (WHOI).

Data were processed using the standard set of Seabird utilities, to generate final 1-decibar pressure sorted downtrace files for all CTD casts. All final processed *.asc CTD files were downloaded by the OCB DMO in February 2006 from the SOFeX web site at MBARI:
http://www.mbari.org/SOFeX/Melville_Data/CTD/Melville_CTD.htm

The date, time, latitude and longitude position information were taken from the CTD header records in the *.BTL files, and therefore disagree slightly with the entires for those CTD cast events in the cruise event Activity Log

Final CTD cast header record from a .BTL file:
SIO-CTD cast 2

Note: Temp is T90 (ITS-90 scale confirmed from .BTL file headers)
only data from the primary temperature and conductivity sensors was kept for the final CTD data

Final CTD cast configuration (con report) files were not provided with .ASC files.
